Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Jamie-Lynn: The first time I read a script, I always read it as an audience as opposed to looking at it for a role right away. And then, I mean, I'm still inexperienced at all of this, so I'm still figuring it out, but I've noticed that projects that I respond to, I get a certain feeling. As I'm rereading it, and focusing on this character, if I’m really responding to it, I can almost envision myself doing it. And there's many times when I just can't and I know I'm not right for it.
-
Jamie-Lynn: I have a major crush on Steve Carell. Hysterical. He could read me the phone book and I would laugh.
-
Jamie-Lynn: (on being single again) To come from where you thought your life was set - that this is who you're going to be with, that you're going to start having children with him very shortly - for it all of a sudden to kind of all not be there, it's scary.
-
Jamie-Lynn: The director of The Sopranos told me that, if I wouldn't gain weight, i would lose my job. I didn't look like the girl who ate pasta all day. This was an extra stimulation to fight my eating problems.
-
Jamie-Lynn: (About her eating problem) I had a tough time as a teenager. My body changed, I was very busy with school and then, above all, my boyfriend broke up with me. I felt like I had lost control over everything... the only thing that I COULD control, was my eating pattern.
-
Veronica: (of Veronica Magazine) What kind of character is Meadow? Jamie-Lynn: Of all characters in The Sopranos, Meadow, as the serious student, stands the furthest away from the mafia world... she is actually the complete opposite of her family. She's aware of this difficult situation, but she accepts everything as it goes.
-
Jamie-Lynn Sigler: I became a spokeswoman for eating disorders. I would say about three or four months after I actually came out about it. It is a tough thing to talk about it, but it is actually therapeutic for me. I know it is something that touches almost every girl, and men, too.
-
Jamie-Lynn Sigler: I think it's important for a relationship--mine in particular--that you have your own life before you have one together.
-
Jamie-Lynn Sigler: I'm half-Cuban - my mother was born in Cuba and came here as a teenager - so it's got a lot of Latin influence to it. It's pretty poppish. It's kind of more on the J-Lo side of things.
